Deleting email contacts

Happy new year to all.

When you want to send a new email, you may click "New" then type say: "A" in CC or BCE and you will get a list of email names starting with the letter "A". Same with all letters.

In that list there a bunch of names that were used many years ago.

Question: How do you delete them for good?.

Mac OS 10.8.2

Best regards.

Have you tried removing them from your Contacts.app?

Hello chscag,

They don't appear in my regular contact list.

I have 31 persons in my contact list. In the other list, I must have close to 150.

Thank you

Regards

From within Mail, head for 'Window' on the Menu bar and select Previous Recipients.

In Mail, click on Window in the menubar, and choose Previous Recipients. Highlight any or all, and Remove.

Many big thanks and season's greetings.

Have a prosperous 2013.
